DICE was founded by Fredrik Liliegren and Andreas Axelsson in Alvesta, Sweden, in 1988. Most of the early games they developed were small games such as Pinball. In 2000, DICE bought Refraction Games, the company that produced Codename Eagle, and used the game as inspiration for the Battlefield series.

Electronic Arts later bought DICE on October 2, 2006 and has owned it since.

A few days after the acquisition, the Canadian extension of DICE, DICE Canada, was shut down. DICE Canada was based off London, Ontario and worked on booster packs and patches for the Battlefield games.

On May 15, 2013, Electronic Arts opened an American extension of DICE, known as DICE Los Angeles (or DICE LA for short), to focus on developing any new Star Wars IPs after EA secured a deal with Disney for development and publishing rights to the franchise's games. DICE LA also helped DICE in development of Battlefield 4.
